The
legendary Lennon Sisters, of Lawrence Welk fame, recently performed
to a sold-out audience at The Historic Riviera Theater in North
Tonawanda. Following the show, the siblings met audience members Eva
(Jonsson) Nicklas and Kathleen (Jonsson) Godwin, who, along with
their younger sister, Silva, sang together professionally as a group
in the 1960s and '70s. The sister acts teamed up to sing some
spontaneous three-part harmony in the lobby, much to the delight of
those waiting for an autograph.

"That
moment was 50 years in the making," Godwin said. "A ticket to
the show: $35; singing with the Lennon Sisters: priceless!" (photos by Sandy Hays-Mies)
